New records of aphyllophoroid fungi from Aguascalientes, Mexico and an approach to their ecological preferences

Abstract

Little is known of wood-inhabiting aphyllophoroid fungi in some Mexican territories. The State of Aguascalientes is an example: there have been few records of these fungi until now. The main objective of this study is to provide a preliminary inventory of the wood-inhabiting aphyllophoroid species of the state. The fieldwork was carried out by sampling the principal plant communities during the main period of basidiomata production in 2011. A preliminary list of 81 species is presented, 55 of these recorded for the first time in the state. Additionally, a non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis was conducted to explore the fungal communities. Based on the vegetation, 3 significantly differentiated aphyllophoroid community groups were identified: temperate forests, scrublands and deciduous tropical forest. The highest species richness was found in oak forests.

“…Hyphal system monomitic. Hyphae hyaline, compactly arranged in subhymenium and trama, branching from or near clamps, 2.0-3.5 μm in diameter, thin-walled in subhymenium, thin-to slightly thick-walled in Ecological peculiarities: on decayed wood, preferably of deciduous trees but may also occur on coniferous wood (Núñez, Ryvarden, 1997;Boidin, Gilles, 2001;Ghobad-Nejhad et al, 2008;Ordynets et al, 2013;Urbizu et al, 2014;Tellería et al, 2016).…”

Nuevos registros de hongos corticioides asociados a Abies religiosa del Estado de México

“…Coniophora arida se caracteriza por presentar un basidioma submembranoso, con basidiosporas de 9-14 × 6-9 µm (Jülich y Stalpers, 1980); C. arida es muy parecida a C. puteana, pero esta última presenta esporas pardas a diferencia de C. arida donde son hialinas (Bernicchia y Gorjon, 2010). Esta reportada para México en Durango (Contreras-Pacheco et al, 2014), Aguascalientes (Urbizu et al, 2014) y Nuevo León (Marmolejo y Méndez-Cortés, 2007) sobre Pinus sp., Juniperus deppeana Stued., P. arizonica var. stormiae Mart.…”

“…Se estima que a nivel mundial existen alrededor de 1,900 especies (Ginns, 1998;Mueller et al, 2007). En México los estudios sobre su diversidad y ecología citan alrededor de 270 especies, siendo los bosques templados los ecosistemas con la mayor riqueza (Contreras-Pacheco, 2008;Contreras et al, 2012Contreras et al, , 2014Urbizu et al, 2013Urbizu et al, , 2014Tapia y Chacón, 2015;Tapia et al, 2016). Los bosques de Abies en México ocupan 142,269 ha y se distribuyen principalmente en la parte norte y centro del país, y hacia el sur en los estados de Oaxaca, Guerrero y Chiapas.…”
